I'll give some props to Normal as the funniest character on the show. He cracked me up everytime he opened his mouth...that and he looked pretty damn funny. I still maintain that Boo is one of the funniest episodes I've ever seen that wasn't part of a sitcom. Absolutely hilarious!

Speaking of which, I finally got around to watching the Second Season. Well some of it. I actually couldn’t stomach all the episodes and had to fast forward, but I did get to Freak Nation, which is pretty good. If half the episodes in the second season had been to that good, I would have a completely different opinion of it.

Also, Normal rocked. His name was just genius: “Normal.” Everyone has had to work for a Normal at one point in their life.

You know the first season was really good. How the hell the second season ended up so stupid, I’ll never know. It’s such a shame. They do this with a lot of shows. It starts out good with real grit and hardcore stories and then they Disney-fy it.

I’m constantly waiting for them to Disney-fy Heroes. I’m telling ya it’s a looming threat.

With recent reports on the Origins episodes slated for next season I'm more concerned that they are tyring to add an element of reality TV. I've been feeling a chill slowly working it's way up my spine since I heard about this.

Ah, Normal. Easy to see why they called him that. How can you not be amused by a guy whose real name is Reagan Ronald and whose hero is George H. W. Bush

As to the second season, I didn't think it was that bad. It just wasn't the same show as season one. First, what ever happened to Herbal? In season one he was a major character, one of Max's closest friends. In season two he was just gone with no explaination. She never even asked about him. And there were some eps that were basically recycled stories from season one. Like the ep with Joshua's little Brother Issac. Was I the only one thinking of Ben during that whole episode?

Now there was a mention of Lydecker being a great chracter in an earlier post and I gotta agree whole heartedly. I was really disapointed that we never got to see him again after his car was run off the road. Sure, the thing was under water but I have to see a body before I believe Donald Lydecker is dead.

What?! How are they planning to do that?

If they screw up Heroes, I’m going ballistic. It’s the only show on tv worth watching, and incidentally the only show I watch.

Yessir - Max closely followed by Original Cin-dy... that show rocked and I was so sorry when it ended - and in a not too wonderful way...

I liked Logan too - but then I have a thing for the sensitive yet prinicpled kind of guy who would die rather than betray your trust...

Of course they only exist in sci fi!

I count (off the top of my head) 5 eps that are in the league (mostly) that the first season was in:

Designate This (mainly 'cause you have to see how Max escapes)
Some Assembly Required
Berrisford Agenda
She Ain't Heavy
Freak Nation

And a lot of others are very good...

Also, Bling vanished. Maybe it was that Logan downsized his ops, but yeah, Herbal was sorely missing.

Oh, he wasn't dead...he would have made another appearance in season 3.

Well I figured that was always part of the plan Chrisisall, but we as an audience never got o that part of it.

And I mentioned Ben (Alec's twin) in my last post. I just realized that I forgot to say that that was one of my favorite episodes in season one. Let's hear some more fav eps from folk.
